In this episode, we sat down with Oceanside Glass & Tile\\u2019s CEO Sean Gildea as well as their Product and Inventory Manager Brian Fitzgerald. We have been big fans of Oceanside since we first saw it on a job site. There is just something unique and special when you open the box and once it is installed it looks even more fantastic. We have always heard that they had a very cool origin story and after recording the interview, let us tell you, it did not disappoint. Oceanside\\u2019s story began just over 25 years ago in the year 1992. Three artists and a young entrepreneur created a game-changing trifecta - Tile, Glass, and Sustainability. Forging into uncharted waters to develop handcrafted tile with recycled bottled glass. Listen to the episode to hear how their story unfolded and how Oceanside was born.\\xa0
Sean and Brian also share Oceanside\\u2019s past and current cultures with us. To this day, many of their original beliefs are intertwined in the day to day operations as well as the culture and product. We have learned over the years that when it comes to a high-quality product, that the company behind that product has spent a ton of time implementing the right systems. Such is the case with Oceanside, it is no surprise that they are so successful. We discuss their manufacturing process in detail and it is something you do not want to miss! We even throw in some discussion about tacos! Who doesn\\u2019t love tacos, right?!\\xa0
